The Wave

  • Site: Groennegade, Odense, DK
  • Time: 2008
  • Program: City Square
  • Size: App. 7.000 m2
  • Project type: Competition in collaboration with Sara Jörn

The square unfolds as a "wave" that combines Vindegade, in one end of the square, with the entrance space of Brandts art exhibition hall, in the other. It rises up over a parking terminal for underground parking and down through a "valley". The entrance space of Brandts becomes an edge towards an arched landscape where the wave creates an ongoing connection all through the square and the different activities taking place there.

A path on the "wave" is made for skating, biking and running. From the top of the "hill" on the parking area one can an overview of what is happening on the square while down in the "valley" one moves between framed beds containing plants, lightened water and mist.

The path is covered with white rubber granules and it also works as a screen for moving image. Projectors, placed over the path, follow its directions and sensors along the path can registrate activities and interpret these inputs in to outputs projected on to the screen.
